In order to help you get used to it (if you have trouble with that) try using it while you are watching a tv show. That way you are a little distracted and can maybe ease into using the CPAP. Also, some people just cannot use the full face mask, and some just cannot use the nasal pillows. Its a personal preference thing. If you find one isn't working for you, be sure to ask for a different kind. I believe there are quite a few different masks and pillow options out there. If you can get used to using the CPAP I think you will begin to feel so much better!! Good luck!
